Yea it fucking sucks. I'm listening to Ultramega Ok right now. If you haven't even heard that, give it a listen. It's their first and one of the best. Sad day man.

Yeah its damn near my favorite.
He was a huge influence on my early musical enlightenment and remained a force of sheer awesome as time went on.
Its a sad day, indeed.

That's indeed a great one. I haven't been a big SG listener in a while, but I'd occasionally revisit over the years—I always thought their records held up well. Badmotorfinger and Superunknown were especially huge during my adolescence, and I was always a fan of the Cornell solo acoustic stuff that would pop up here and there. There's certainly a lot of nostalgia stirred up in me today—this one hurts!

Yea I just switched to listening to Down on the Upside right now.

It's my favorite of there's ever. I don't know why. Each song is perfect to me.

[colourofsound]

Quite the shock this. Very important artist and Soundgarden one of the most important bands to me. Really feel quite sad.

[Faldoe]

Really sad. I listened to SG a lot in my youth.

[spacelordmother]

rip.

So there's some reports saying it could have been a suicide and he was found with some kind of band around his neck. Damn man. I hope not. That would be even worse.

Housemate texted me about this while I was coming home from work. We were just talking about him/SG yesterday too. SG was one of the first bands I was really into when I was starting to get into music. :/

Let's hope Eddie Vedder is next.

And that Alice in Chains guy, is he still alive? One down, plenty of 90s alt-rockers still around that should go.

[Jwar]

Is it possible that you could not be a douche troll for just one day?

[blakestree]

Let's hope Eddie Vedder is next.

Fuck you.
